Step-by-Step Crafting Process
Follow these steps to craft and place a bed:

Use 10 Wood to craft a Work Bench. Then use the Work Bench to craft:
- Furnace (20 Stone, 5 Wood, 3 Torches)
- Anvil (5 Iron/Lead Bars)
- Sawmill (10 Wood, 2 Iron Bars, 1 Chain)
- Loom (12 Wood)
2. Make Silk
Collect at least 35 Cobwebs underground. Stand near the Loom and use the Cobwebs to craft 5 Silk.
3. Craft the Bed
Near the Sawmill, combine 15 Wood and 5 Silk to craft a Bed.

Take the Bed to where you want your spawn point to be set. Make sure there is a comfort item (chair, table, etc.) nearby. Place the Bed.
When you right click the Bed, you will sleep and set your spawn point to that location.
